[ubuntu-studio-devel] ubuntu-studio-devel Digest, Vol 77, Issue 20

Tue Sep 24 15:05:31 UTC 2013

Hello Joseph,

When we perform upgrade testing, we don't mean upgrading from Ubuntu Studio
13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Beta 1 to Beta 2, we mean upgrading from Ubuntu
Studio 13.04 to Ubuntu Studio 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Beta 2...

Still, good to know though:)

Regards,
Howard Chan (smartboyhw)
Ubuntu Studio Release Manager
